What was the relationship between the ottoman empire’s power and the rise of the European exploration

History
1 answer:
sashaice [31]4 years ago
6 0

Because it was a Muslim Empire bet on Conquest of all non-Muslim lands (especially Christian Europe), it was hostile to trade and/or exploration by Christian Kingdoms and/or principalities. Before the Ottomans, Europe used the Silk Road and the Spice Trade Routes that went through the lands that were later conquered by the Ottomans (Asia Minor) who then blocked all trade and exploration ventures into Asia and/or the Middle East.

This forced European powers to seek alternate routes for commerce and exploration in Asia. The Portuguese were the first, they circumnavigated and explored the African coastline all the way to the southernmost part of Africa and finally made it to India. This allowed them to renew and control the lucrative Spice Trade and further map the unknown world. Spain was engaged in a hegemonic strife with Portugal and thanks to Christopher Columbus, who was seeking an alternate; shorter route to India sailed through the Atlantic and discovered the New World.

ki77a [65]
No, it is false that the Xiongnu became the direct ancestors of the Mongols, who ruled China up to World War I, since these were a nomadic people, and the leadership in China by then was in different hands.

What was a likely challenge that arose from the influx of workers into the Sunbelt?
gavmur [86]

The Sun Belt is the area south of the US, that stretches across the Southeast and Southwest, roughly south of the 36th parallel. It is characterized by mild weather and fast economic growth.

The area has seen an increase in immigration since the 1960s, although immigration had been high for decades before that. For example, in the period from 1900 to 1965, the population of California grew from fewer than one million to the greatest in the Union.

Several challenges have arisen from the influx of workers into the Sun Belt. Problems with resources, and in particular water supply, are threatening to the south, as the semi-desert weather is predominant.

Another problem is housing. The price of properties have increased dramatically, as many of the US larger cities are located in this area.
